Known as Muller Van Severen, Flemish design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen work at the intersection of art and design. They are one of today's hottest names. From galleries and museums to collectors, design enthusiasts and publishers, their minimalist, colorful furniture is timeless and joyful.
Their success began with this collection of lamps. The first prototypes were presented at Muller Van Severen's very first solo exhibition in 2011.
With their linear design, Pendant Ceiling Lamps resemble pencil strokes traced in the air: like drawings materialized in space. The curved steel tube traces a sober, colorful line through the décor. At the end of this line, there's a simple white Glass Lampshade that identically reproduces a lampshade the designers had originally unearthed at a flea market. ''It's a fantastic Lampshade: perfectly neutral. Fortunately, we found a company capable of producing it'', adds Moya.
Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, ex-sculptor and ex-photographer respectively, infuse each of their pieces with a touch of poetry. Hannes explains: "Design is about function. We come from the visual arts. So we simply try to create sculptural furniture in space. Art or design, creation is done in the same way... and with the same satisfaction. Poetry is possible even in the industrial world", concludes Fien.
The Belgian label Valérie Objects uses its uncompromising eye to find designers in tune with its philosophy, which is to create everyday objects likely to develop emotion and attachment, far from a stereotyped decor that lacks depth. Veerle Wenes, gallerist and co-founder of Valerie Objects: ''Minimal objects require maximum work.
